American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.

I play characters who are comfortable naked, but that's something you work up to. I did a play off-Broadway in New York when I was in college. It was full-frontal nudity. It's nerve-racking.

Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.

I wanted to work with somebody who seemed like he came from the same place that I did, which is that total immersion and learning about the world around, from this very gritty, dark side, and had access to that.

[ Being naked on scene ] was like walking a tightrope without a net - with a giant fan blowing at you.

I'm a nerd. But I'm not that hard-core.

I'm an average guy. I wasn't the dude who was gonna sit at the stage and dump all my paycheck into the girl.
